Bachelor of Information Technology with a Major in Data Science

About

The deluge of data that modern systems generate is transforming business, government, science and healthcare. Data science, which uses specialised computational and statistical techniques to analyse big data and solve challenging problems, is a key skill of the 21st century.

The Data Science major will equip you with the in-depth programming skills you’ll need to extract usable information from data sources. It emphasises concepts, insights and skills that will enable you to use current technologies and adapt to and create new technologies. You’ll be able to process and analyse data sets, including big data; use mathematical and statistical modelling techniques, machine learning and data mining to solve challenging problems; and communicate your findings to different audiences.
